This may be obvious to most but ..... not being a very
DOSy person it cost me an evening!
When running DJGPP/GNAT do so from a MSDOS session
launched from Windows. I spend a very unpleasant
evening trawling through DOS manuals, editing my
config.sys file and rebooting my machine to give
sufficient extended (or is it expanded ??) memory
for DJGPP/GNAT to run without crippling the machine
for other apps.
After several hours I think I had got is correct and
decided to try it out when launched from windows. It
seems to bypass all the changes I had made in config.sys
and used the windows memory manager running much more
efficiently than I had managed to tweak it upto. I was
able to restore the original config.sys file and throw
the DOS manual back in the waste bin!

How did you install Gnat 1.83? There didn't to be much
documentation. My system doesn't want to gnatbl,
just says cannot find lgthreads (or something like that).
1.81 was the last system I could run, as it had a build
script. 1.82 and 1.83 haven't worked on my system.
